At the Mary River Wilderness Retreat, you’ll find a huge range of facilities and accommodation options for couples, friends and families. Take a short drive from Darwin and find yourself in this fantastic riverside property. You can choose to stay in a poolside or bush bungalow, if there are a few of you travelling, or a full size family bungalow that sleeps up to five people. If you’d prefer to enjoy the surroundings and really immerse yourself in nature, book out a camp site for your tent or campervan.
Staying at the Mary River Wilderness Retreat will not only give you access to fantastic facilities such as a pool and restaurant, but you can also hire a boat to explore the Mary River or take part in one of the many nature walks on the property. Grab yourself a hire bike or buggy and explore the property to see wallabies, Bowerbird nests and even crocodiles! Take some time out to visit this retreat and watch the native wildlife while the kids entertain themselves in the pool. Wake up to a fresh coffee and continental breakfast in the Gecko Restaurant and breathe easy again.
